Preface
In order to revive sci-

entific events and re-
store its scientific im-
age, the Mechanical
Engineering Depart-
ment, Faculty of
Technology, Mostefa
Benboulaid Batna 2
University organizes
the First National Conference on Mechanical Engineering NCME'23 in may 10th 2023.
This multidisciplinary event should serve as a platform to bring together all actors in the field
of Mechanical Engineering to tighten communication within the university community and
bring the socio-economic sector closer to academic skills and strengthen applied scientific
researches. In this upcoming era of "Start-ups", this event is intended, in particular, to be a
multi-sectoral meeting between different actors, researchers and university students, profes-
sionals and industrial entrepreneurs. The university-industry interface must be highlighted in
order to permit the presentation of new ideas and concepts which might be undertaken in the
industry. The ultimate goal is to create jobs and wealth.

Convection; Numerical temperature gradient, with its top sidewalls being thermally
Analysis. insulated. The governing equations, which are dimensionless and
based on the Boussinesq approximation, are solved using the Finite
Volume Method. The numerical results are presented in terms of
streamlines, isotherms, Nusselt number along the cover plate for
different aspect ratios, inclination angles, and Rayleigh numbers.
These findings shed light on the performance of the enclosure and
demonstrate how the heat and fluid flow fields are influenced by the
aforementioned parameter.

intervenants lors de la construction du barrage sont pris en compte
dans l'étude tels-que : les propriétés des matériaux utilisés, le
programme de bétonnage…etc. Il en est de même pour certains
paramètres climatiques tels-que : la température ambiante de l'air et
la vitesse de vent qui interviennent dans les échanges convectifs.
L’étude vise l'évaluation des contraintes d'origines thermiques afin
de déterminer le nombre de joints et leurs espacements. L’analyse
permettra un choix adéquat des matériaux de construction et de fixer
la température initiale du gâché pour éviter ou au moins minimiser le
risque de fissuration précoce. La température maximale atteinte au
centre du barrage est de 67°C. La valeur maximale de la contrainte
de traction relevée à proximité des parements varie de 1.1 MPa à
4.36 MPa.

Swirling Flow numerically analysed. The governing equations that describe the
combined problem (MHD and mixed convection) under the adoptive
assumptions are solved numerically by the finite volume technique.
Four cases are considered in this study: (EI-Walls), (EC-Walls), (EC-
Bottom), and (EC-Top). A decrease in the mean Nusselt number was
found with the increase of the Richardson number due to
stratification layers. These latter limits the heat transfers between the
hot and cold zones of the cylinder. The results indicate that the
Nusselt number gets bigger within a certain range of Hartmann
numbers, and especially when the rotating lid is electrically
conducting. Indeed, average Nusselt number decreases while the
Hartmann number increase after it exceeds a critical value. Finally,
the electrical conductivity of the rotating lid plays an important role
in heat transfer enhancement in nanofluid swirling flow.

Keywords: In this numerical study, a cubic box occupied with a Nanoparticle

Melting; Fusion; Pcm; Enhanced Phase Change Material (NEPCM) (mixture "N-
Nanoparticle: 3d Octadecane/alumina (Al2O3)"), is considered. Using the Comsol-
Numerical Simulation Multiphysics program, the configu-ration will be treated as a 3D
symmetric numerical simulation problem under some conditions.
Besides, heat transfer fluid (HTF) generates a non-uniform
temperature that changes along an internal conduit installed in the
lowest area of the box to ensure the melting of the NEPCM.
Therefore, the purpose of the study is to highlight the importance of
the nano-additives amount (varying from 0 to 6%) on the thermal
distribution and melting performances. The obtained findings figure
out that the PCM melts irregularly and is influenced by the non-
uniform temperature of the HTF tube. Hence, the third dimension
should be considered, particularly in PCM ring tank simulations, in
order to obtain reliable predictions compared to practical and
experimental studies. Addi-tionally, the alumina-NP has a valuable
effect on improving the thermal conductivity of NEPCM, where ther-
mal resistance and melting time diminish with the amount of
nanoparticles. Comparing to the case of pure PCM, the heat transfer
enhancement yield to an augment in the melting rate of about 11%
and 9.5% for the volume fractions of 6% and 3%, respectively.
Moreover, there is a significant increase in the amount of stored
thermal energy when nanoparticles are added.

Bucket; Grooves; This is what happens in the water jet of Pelton hydraulic turbine and
Deformation causes a jet strike on the wrong place of the bucket of the wheel of the
turbine, and the peaks of velocity ant the total pressure are not
located on the centreline of the jet. Several works confirmed that
these failing are caused mainly by the curvature of the pipe upstream
of the jet. This work proposes a solution for the regularization of the
shape of the jet by acting on the design of the tube geometry upstream
the injector. Engraving helical grooves on the inner wall of the pipe
yielded a sharp and much more uniform jet, which is confirmed by the
velocity and the total pressure profiles on a given jet cross section:
the tops of these curves are hence located on the centreline of the
flow as well as the velocity vectors. This adjustment will concentrate
the jet striking force on the center of the turbine wheel bucket and
consequently increase its efficiency.

Keywords: The study aimed to investigate the effect of hydrogen addition on the
Two-Zone Model; performance of an internal combustion engine with spark ignition. A
Spark-Ignition; computer code based on a zero-dimensional model of combustion in a
Zero-Dimensionnal; spark ignition engine was used to carry out this study. The
Hydrogen Addition FORTRAN90 computer code was established in a previous work and
is based on a two-zone model. It represents the flame as an infinitely
thin interface that separates fresh and burnt gases. The code was
modified to simulate the addition of hydrogen by adding the
thermodynamic properties of hydrogen and the calculation of the
laminar flame velocity for a hydrogen-isooctane mixture to its
database. The results showed that the addition of hydrogen increased
the maximum pressure and temperature during the combustion phase.
It also increased the production of water vapor and decreased the
production of carbon dioxide, which appears to be beneficial in terms
of pollution. However, as the temperature rises in the cylinder,
various pollutants such as carbon monoxide CO and nitrogen
monoxide NO will inevitably form. Therefore, further studies focusing
on the effect of hydrogen addition on pollutant production are
required. The addition of hydrogen also improved the overall
performance of the engine.

Control ; Blow ; Etended ; is closely linked to the forces that oppose the proper functioning of
Angle ; Boundary Layer these machines. Thus, reducing drag (drag force) by control
procedures has been a problem for decades. Among the means of
controlling or reducing the effects of the resistance forces, mention is
made of maintaining the laminar regime to the detriment of the
turbulent regime which consumes more energy. The present numerical
study of a boundary layer type stationary compressible laminar flow
around a two-dimensional profile with and without puff control. The
modeling of the physical problem based on the equations of
conservation, continuity, dynamics and energy, simply called the
Prandtl equations. Like these partial and nonlinear differential
equations, their resolution can only be obtained numerically. The
solution procedure is based on the Newton method, the Cranck-
Nicolson scheme and the Thomas algorithm. The results obtained
allowed the optimization of the blowing control parameters such as
the extent, the angle and the blowing flow rate, which also allowed
the improvement of the laminar regime by 10% and consequently
a consequent reduction of energy consumption.

Efficiency thermal collector and a photovoltaic module. This technology
simultaneously generates heat and electricity. According to PV/T
application, the collector can work with air or water. During the

efficiencies. The obtained overall efficiency of PVT is about 56%.

software based on the finites volumes method that solves the
dimensionless equations with consideration of some simplifying
hypotheses. The airflow is considered laminar, stationary and
incompressible and the temperatures of the hot and the cold walls
that correspond respectively to the ground and the collector are
considered constants. The results of the simulation showed that the
airflow motion inside the solar chimney depends mainly on the value
of the temperature difference between horizontal surfaces of the solar
chimney. The main objective of this work is to find out at which value
of the temperature difference the airflow is fully developed inside the
chimney which helps to define the temperature ranges where the
efficiency of this technology is pronounced.

The heat transfer rates obtained numerically were compared to those
calculated using well known correlation (i.e. correlation of Shah and

found that the influence of fins on heat transfer rates is more
important for the laminar regime than for the turbulent one for all
considered inclinations. The optimal inclinations, which allow
increasing the heat transfer, have also been determined for both
laminar and turbulent flows. The findings of this research can be used

which is a device used to decelerate and compress the incoming

In this paper, the effects of the compression ramp on the supersonic
intake and its performance have been studied in order to improve the
performance and capabilities of high-speed aircraft. The
computational technique use to solve the unsteady compressible
Navier–Stokes equations in space and time is based on the spatially
unsplit, predictor-corrector algorithm of Mac-Cormack ‘fourth
order’. We have discussed different types of ramps used in supersonic
intakes, and the key design parameters that affect their performance.
We have been also focused on the behavior of the effects of shock
waves, boundary layer separation located at the compression ramp
corners, and the complexity of the design. It has been found that the
compression ramp angle has a significant impact on the aerodynamic
performance of the supersonic intake, and on its ability to maintain a
uniform airflow and its efficiency in compressing the airflow.

The linear stability of the flow to three-dimensional disturbances was
investigated by making use of the normal mode decomposition within
the Görtler-Hammerlin framework. The equations of linear stability
theory create an eigenvalue problem, which is solved numerically by
means of a pseudo spectral collocation method using Laguerre’s
polynomials. A stability analysis reveals that mass transfer acts to
reduce instability when thermal and concentration buoyancy forces
act in the opposite direction and to decrease it in the contrary.
Results also show that the flow is more stable with presence of
magnetic field and an increasing in Hartman number leads to more
increasing on its stability.

We focus on the effects of Reynolds number (100, 400, 1000, 1500,
2500, 3500 and 5000), and aspect ratio (1, 2 and 4) on the flow
characteristics, including the formation of vortices.
Results show that the flow patterns and velocity profiles are strongly
dependent on the Reynolds number and aspect ratio, as the Reynolds
number (Re) increases, the flow become more chaotic (turbulent),
and the formation of vortices is there is more prominent (formation of
secondary and ternary vortices), and the aspect ratio effects the size
and shape of the vortices with increase in aspect ratio (K).
The study demonstrates the potential of the lattice Boltzmann method
as a powerful tool for simulating complex fluid flows and provides
insights into the flow characteristics in a two-sided lid driven cavity.

Polarization Curve using ANSYS FLUENT software, based on the finite volume method.
The model considered the main transport phenomena in a fuel cell,
including mass transport, electrode kinetics, and potential fields, and
determined the distributions of molar concentrations of oxygen and
hydrogen, as well as current density, for both straight and serpentine
flow field designs.
In the numerical simulations, the conservation equations of mass,
momentum, and species were utilized to determine the transport of
reactants and products within the fuel cell. The model also considered
the impact of different geometries on the current density distribution
and overall efficiency of the fuel cell.
The results of the simulations showed that the serpentine flow field
design exhibited better current density distribution compared to the
straight flow field design. This improvement in current density
distribution can be attributed to the increased residence time of
reactants in the serpentine flow field, which enhances mass transport
and facilitates a more uniform distribution of reactants across the
electrode surface.

blades using CAD software and optimizing their geometry to
minimize energy losses and maximize flow rate. We also examine the
pump's inlet and outlet configurations and use our software to
analyze its performance under different operating conditions.
We evaluate the pump's performance through a series of prototype
testing and comparative analysis, comparing it to existing axial flow
pumps on the market. Our results show that our CAD-based design
significantly improves the energy efficiency and performance of the
axial flow pump, while reducing operating costs and environmental
impact. Our findings provide valuable insights into the optimization
of axial flow pumps for various applications and demonstrate the
potential of CAD-based design and simulation in the field of fluid

Keywords: The imperfections at the origin of the lack of repeatability are of

Repeatability; asperity; random nature, caused by the adjustments of the servo-control and
friction; industrial robot especially by non-geometric phenomena such as the play and friction
existing at the joints level. The occurring friction constitutes one of
the main causes of performance loss. The friction modeling isn’t an
easy task, and therefore, its correction in advance remains difficult.
The adopted method consisted of employing mechanical approaches
in order to theoretically identify the contribution of friction on the
pose repeatability. The tribological experimental study was carried
out on the alternative tribometer and is based on the steel grade
42CD4 with a steel pin 100C6 used on the robot joints. Due to the
variability of the friction values coefficient, the main asperities on
isotropic surfaces were analyzed by considering their characteristics,
namely the top altitude of each asperity, the distance between two
consecutive views, and its radius. Each of these geometric
characteristics is described using statistical analysis with probability
density functions such as Gaussian laws. Finally, these developments
resulted in a model that was applied by using measurements of three
different types of microgeometry, ranging from quasi-periodic to
quasi-random. The obtained results are interesting because they
served to improve the analysis of repeatability by taking into account
the friction phenomenon.

Aluminum Alloy; Doe based on statistical tests has been studied to quantify and predict the
relative contribution of cutting parameters on cutting force and shape
errors during drilling. This technique is based on the identification of
relevant sources of error during high-speed robotic fitting. The
machining quality was quantified in terms of dimensional and
geometric tolerance, chip formation and evacuation, burr formation,
edge build-up, tool wear and surface damage. Statistical analysis of
the experimental results reveals a strong dependence between part
accuracy and drilling force. An experimental model was developed to
represent and predict the cutting force during drilling and excellent
error prediction capability was observed. It was found that at high
cutting speed and feed rate, the cutting force was the main source of
error affecting the accuracy of the machined parts. Verification
experiments are performed and the results reveal that dimensional
defects are significantly reduced by a heat treatment effect (90 HRE)
and the thrust force decreases with an increase in cutting speed. The
recommended cutting speed for robotic drilling is 6000 rpm with a
feed rate of 0.15 mm/min. This study provides important technical
guidance for improving the machinability of aluminum alloy in
practice.

is the direct and inverse kinematic analysis of this SPM. Then, the
comparison of the solutions obtained with the one found by a
simulation using a commercial software. Also, the kinematic analysis
of the manipulator is in order to optimize the design, dimension all
the organs and improve the CAD to ensure the good functioning of
the SPM and maximize its working space.

without folding tubes of 6 meters in length and 1 mm in thickness in
stainless steel 316 L. In order to obtain a periodical form in an S
shape without making a linear part with two tangent semicircles. This
machine consists of a base, an electric motor, two-speed reducers, a
chain of movement transmission, limit switches, a control box, and
the most important machine part is the two rollers with the roller
support. It applies a combination of forces on the profile, whose
resultant determines a deformation perpendicular to the tube length.
To achieve this objective, the SOLIDWORKS software designer is
used for object modeling in 3D. It allows the graphic representation
of the different constituent parts, as well as the detection of the
critical points of the parts.

Aerodynamics; Drag. room for improvement in terms of aerodynamic efficiency, resulting in
more fuel consumption. Therefore, other ways to improve the
aerodynamic efficiency of trucks are needed, and a practical but
relatively simple method to reduce aerodynamic drag is to install an
air deflector on the roof of the truck cab.
In this work, the effects of the addition of device like the deflector on
the drag reduction of heavy-duty vehicles were studied. For this
purpose, the body structure of the vehicle (truck) was modeled in two
models (truck without deflector, and truck with deflector) using the
3D design software SolidWorks. Then, computational fluid dynamics
(CFD) analysis was used for each model to improve the optimal
aerodynamic structure at different longitudinal speeds for heavy-duty
vehicles.
The results show that the deflector is a more efficient additional part,
and by adding this part, the drag coefficient is greatly decreased at
an optimal angle, a significant reduction in drag is seen. Through
analysis of airflow and pressure distribution, results reveal that
adding an air deflector to the cabin can reduce fuel consumption and
drag coefficient by up to 27 %, and a drag reduction of 28.38% is
obtained compared to the simple model.

Xrd. can support people in their daily lives. The utilization of hybrid
materials based on natural goods, like as cement, nanoparticles, or
metal oxides, is the current trend in implant design and the
enhancement of their osseointegration. High-performance materials
can be produced from nature using carefully chosen structures
(magnetotactic bacteria, ferritin, the teeth of certain mollusks, etc.).
In light of this, this study will be created by synthesizing a natural
product in the form of apatite. The first part of the work is devoted to
the realization of apatite using eggshells. This apatite is a mineral
reagent able to take part in the phenomena of ionic exchanges and
molecular adsorptions with the surrounding biological fluids. This
apatite structure is particularly hospitable and can accommodate a
good number of ionic substituents by substitutions of Ca2+ sites. In
the second part of our work, we will proceed to the substitution of the
Ca2+ ion by the Mg2+ ion and the elaboration of the hybrid
material. The characterization of the samples was done using SEM
for morphology, XRD, Raman and FTIR spectroscopy for structure
and composition analysis. The corrosion behavior was followed by
the plotting of the equilibrium potential OCP and the linear
polarization PL. The analysis of the results shows a good
crystallization with a good corrosion behavior.

The aim of the present work is to study the response of Al based alloy
(Al-Mg-Si) to plastic deformation as well as to follow the age

isothermal heat treatments and the influence on the evolution of the
microstructure, and the precipitation sequence characteristic to this
alloy. For this, experimental techniques such as DSC, X-rays
diffraction, SEM and microhardness measurements are used. The
obtained results showed a great modification in the precipitation
sequence of the alloy after the introduction of plastic deformation as
well as the application of isothermal heat treatments. In addition, an
improvement of mechanical properties, in particular the values of
microhardness are reported.

significant increase in the elastic limit during a heat treatment at low

before reaching fracture point made it an important metal in sheet
metal forming sectors such as: car body, door, hood, etc. In this work,
experimental characterization refers to the determination of the
material properties through tests conducted on suitably designed
specimens. Experimental measurement were carried out using
simultaneously digital image correlation and extensometer. DIC has
the advantage of being able to explore the evolution of plastic
deformation on a local scale, mainly with the presence of local
phenomena such as localization of plastic strain. This method is more
pertinent to illustrate the onset of localized necking if it occurs away
from the centre of the specimen (presence of inclusions for example).
Each test is filmed with a digital camera whose images are acquired
by Vision Stage software. This software proposes to configure the
parameters of the acquisition such as frequency, size and number of
images. The software7D based on the principle of image correlation
is used to determine displacement and strain fields. A MATLAB
program has been exploited to obtain the true stress-strain curve for
the material from 7D results.

And Random Distribution. K+ et Ca+2) pour six valeurs de porosité (0,10, 0,15, 0,20, 0,40, 0,60
et 0,80). L'effet de la température sur les valeurs du seuil critique de
corrosion a été étudié pour une période d'une saison, soit trois mois.
Les températures varient de 0 à 20°C pour la saison hivernale et de
25 à 45°C pour la saison estivale. Les résultats ont démontré que la
température et la porosité ont un effet significatif sur le seuil de
corrosion, avec une augmentation de la vitesse de corrosion lorsque
la température et la porosité augmentent. L'effet de la porosité sur la
variation du seuil de corrosion critique est plus important que celui
de la température. L'étude offre une base de référence pour la
conception et la maintenance des structures en béton armé soumises
à la corrosion.

characterized for mechanical resistance and tearing. For concrete,
direct tensile tests are carried out on dumbbell specimens with a
square section [100x100]mm2. This test requires a design of a special
device for fixing the specimens on the Ibertest type tensile machine.
Four (04) percentages of fibers have been retained (W=0.3%.
W=0.5%, W=0.8%, W=1%) with w: volume fraction of fibers added
to the quantity of cement. To study the workability of fiber concrete,
three concrete compositions with different S/G ratios (sand/gravel)
ratios (S/G=0.642, S/G= 0.8, S/G=1) and a fixed of E/C = 0.543 for
each percentage of fibers. The optimum composition of the concrete
was determined by the workability test. The obtained results obtained
show that the fibers confer a significant ductility to the material after
cracking of the concrete. Also, the fibers limit cracks and improve
resistance and rigidity.

to the nature of their work. Several international studies have been
conducted, most of which indicate the risk of leaving the drilling fluid
and sand mixed with it if neglected in the exploration areas. In
addition to helping to improve the mechanical and physical
properties (compressive strength, flexural strength) of oil well sand
concrete.
Within this idea, we decided during this study to try to answer the
possibility of using oil well sand as an alternative, even partial, in the
construction to reduce these phenomena and the problems that arise
in the surfaces of these regions.
According to the most important results obtained, namely a
significant improvement in compressive strength, we propose to
develop and improve the oil well sand concrete, in order to achieve
the generalization of the use of these huge quantities of this sand
located in the southern region in the field of construction, as well as
the elimination of environmental pollution, and that in the medium
and long term.

And Stresses theory (FSDT). Unlike the other high order shear deformation
theories (HSDTs), the present formulation considers a new kinematic
which includes undetermined integral variables. The governing
equations are determined based on the principle of virtual work and
then they are solved via Navier method. Analytical solutions are
proposed to provide the deflections and stresses of simply supported
FGM sandwich structures. Comparative examples are presented to
demonstrate the accuracy of the present theory. The effects of
gradient index, geometrical parameters and thermal load on thermo-
mechanical bending response of the FG sandwich plates are
examined. The purpose of this paper is to extend a quasi-3D five-
variable plate theory to investigate the thermomechanical bending
behavior of FGM sandwich plate which consists of homogeneous
face sheets and FGM core.The number of unknown functions
involved in the governing equations is only five. The deformations
and stresses of sandwich plates with homogeneous face sheets and
FGM core are presented. The effects of thermal load and other
parameters on the thermomechanical bending behavior of the FGM
sandwich plates are studied.

Cds; Cts; Scaps-1d; Thin Dimension (SCAPS-1D) to improve the structure of Copper Tin
Film Solar Cell Sulfide (CTS) thin-film-based solar cells for different buffer layers.
CdS, a toxic material, is used as a buffer layer in traditional CTS
thin-film solar cells. However, the extensive study indicates that CdS
is unsuitable for fabricating functional solar cells, whereas replacing
CdS with In2S3 yields superior results. In2S3 was suggested as a
non-toxic buffer layer, and ZnO was recommended as a window layer.
The impacts of different factors affecting CTS thin-film solar cells
efficiencies, such as absorber layer thickness, carrier concentration,
and temperature, are studied. We focused on the study of the effect of
operating temperature, which is also tested for CTS solar cells to
ensure durability at external installation. The rates of generation and
recombination in both substances, Mo/CTS/ In2S3/i-ZnO/ZnO:Al and
Mo/CTS/CdS/i-ZnO/ZnO:Al, are investigated. The results show that
solar cell efficiency improves when the carrier concentration is
between 1018 cm-3 and 1019 cm-3 and the optimal thickness of the
absorber layer is 4.5 µm. It has been determined that as the
temperature increases, the efficiency of the solar cell decreases. At
300 K, the optimum working temperature, an efficiency of 20.55%
was achieved. When In2S3 was used as a buffer layer instead of CdS
under optimal conditions, the (PCE) of CTS-based solar cells
increased from 19.46% to 20.55%. The results obtained are very
close to those published.
Three dimensional simulation of a scramjet inlet: effects of the ramp angles

Keywords: Supersonic intakes are crucial parts of a breathing propulsive system,

Scramjet; Supersonic inlet designed to slow down and compress supersonic airflow to subsonic
design; Compression speeds suitable for combustion in the aircraft engine. One of the key
ramp; Compressible flow design elements of the supersonic intake is the compression ramps,
which is a device used to decelerate and compress the incoming
airflow through oblique shock waves. The design and placement of
the compression ramp have a significant impact on the performance
of the supersonic intake and, consequently, the aircraft.
In this paper, the effects of the compression ramp on the supersonic
intake and its performance have been studied in order to improve the
performance and capabilities of high-speed aircraft. The
computational technique use to solve the unsteady compressible
Navier–Stokes equations in space and time is based on the spatially
unsplit, predictor-corrector algorithm of Mac-Cormack ‘fourth
order’. We have discussed different types of ramps used in supersonic
intakes, and the key design parameters that affect their performance.
We have been also focused on the behavior of the effects of shock
waves, boundary layer separation located at the compression ramp
corners, and the complexity of the design. It has been found that the
compression ramp angle has a significant impact on the aerodynamic
performance of the supersonic intake, and on its ability to maintain a
uniform airflow and its efficiency in compressing the airflow.
